“We were a group of eight and took the tour to Hiroshima and Miyajima Island with Sei, and it was absolutely amazing. Sei was outstanding from the very beginning—he communicated with us before the tour, made sure we knew exactly where to meet him, and was already waiting when we arrived. He guided us with care the entire day. One of our group members had mobility challenges, and Sei immediately offered alternate routes and made sure they never felt left out. His personality is wonderful—warm, professional, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Sei shared so much insightful history throughout the tour.

She sensitively created an atmosphere of warmth and empathy for the range of emotions we experienced viewing the museum artifacts from that day in history. We also had a tasty lunch and made origami cranes ( symbolizing peace) at one of the best scenic spots to view the city. I highly recommend this tour.”

“The tour guide was a very nice woman but not suited to be a tour guide for a group. Her voice was very soft and she was reading to us on the bus which put everyone to sleep. She was not engaging with the group. Maybe she’d be fine with one on one tours but not on a bus with a group. I heard almost nothing her voice was so low.”
